What Do You Think?


From Georgianne:

Sarah (my daughter) and I were doing dishes and an image on a bird showed up on the bottom of the frying pan. No hoax here! We are scared, especially since a woodpecker has been pecking on the house for the last two days. Seriously. I did see the virgin under the Fullerton Avenue overpass in Chicago and she did not compare to the clarity of this image!!!!



I said:

It's a bird, all right. It's not a plane or Superman. Damn! It looks like a woodpecker. Maybe it's a protective woodpecker. Maybe you shouldn't be scared.

May I post your pictures with no names and ask my readers what they think? I won't mention the Virgin.

Mimi

As you see, I did mention the Virgin, because Georgianne said I could.

Then Georgianne said:

It just occured to me

Wounded bird

Yikes

Yikes!

    We need to go easy on substances in Louisiana, methinks. But I'll opt for a protective woodpecker.

    I wondered which of my crazy friends would weigh in first. Bingo! Pablito!

    The beak makes me think of a hummingbird, but the head makes me think of a red-bird.

    Maybe it's a sainted cardinal?

    Maybe the gods of Lascaux are trying to draw your attention.

    Mark, check out this picture of a woodpecker.

    Erp, that looks like a horse to me. Of course, I could be wrong.

    Paul, you're one of the dearest of my many dear, dear friends.

    I can see it in the beak - I was seeing one of the lines as an extension of the beak curving down, originally - but I still see a definite peak to the back of the head, rather than the curved outline of the woodpecker.

    I could't see the bird in the first picture but there it was, quite visible, in the second. Has anyone else noticed the image of a well endowed lady in the first? Her hair is covered by a veil.

    wish I could draw like that... I'd frame it!

    Mark, I agree. It's not a perfect image of a woodpecker, but when you combine it with the tapping on the window....

    Petty, I see it! The Virgin? Maybe the bulges are a baby.

    Margaret, frame the frying pan?

    Looks more like the archaeopteryx to me. See here also

    It's the Holy Spirit - just a bad drawing of a dove!

    Got this from friend in Kenya:

    "I can put Gachamuku from the deepest reaches of Mbeere in Eastern Province (Kenya) on the line. He is, by the way able to bring down a big bird from the skies by just winking at it. All he needs to do is look to the west, cast his beads, chant an abracadabra and give you the name of the person behind it (where I come from, it has to be someone's evil eye). Then you give notice to the culprit that he has thrown his hat into the wrong ring, and that that is a sure recipe for trouble."

    But it appears that someone has already gone easy on a substance, namely: Brillo.

    Ann, if it's one of those, then Georgianne and Sarah should be afraid, very afraid.

    Alison, I thought of the HS myself.

    Neinaber, do you think that your friend from Kenya's method would work for you? You could try.

    Paul (A.), Brillo would ruin everything. I wouldn't have this post. Think of the loss to the blogosphere.

    Mimi, your skillet is exemplary compared to most! No beautiful birds on ours; they're completely black after years of gas at high heat.

    I vote for fat hummingbird. Definitely not a duck or a poule d'eau!

    Ginny, it's Georgianne's skillet, not mind. Some of mine are much worse. You'd need to draw with chalk to see a picture.

    I would not dare mess with the deities in Africa. Seriously...some of the stories I have been told...Brillo might be the best option here.

    Finally!! the third person of the trinity is beginning to make appearances. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Besides, Jesus and Mary all the time was beginning to wear thin.

    I suggest that you all stand around it and pray for awhile and after some miracles have been done, sell it on EBay.

    This advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

    Elvis is the 3rd person of the Trinity? Wow! I knew he was special, but I had no idea!!

    Peeps, it's always Elvis!
